Common Furnace Problems We Repair

New furnace and ductwork installed in attic by Dependable HVAC in Albemarle NC

Complete System Expertise

From attic installations to basement furnaces, we service heating systems in every configuration. Our experience with both older homes and new construction means we can handle any repair challenge.

We also evaluate your ductwork and airflow to ensure your furnace can deliver maximum heat throughout your home.

Ignition & Pilot Light Issues

Faulty igniters, pilot light problems, and flame sensor issues can prevent your furnace from starting or cause it to shut off unexpectedly. These are among the most common furnace repairs we perform.

Blower Motor Failure

A malfunctioning blower motor won't circulate warm air through your home. We repair or replace faulty motors and address related issues like worn belts or bearings causing loud noises.

Thermostat Malfunctions

Sometimes the issue isn't your furnace at all—it's the thermostat. We diagnose communication problems, calibration issues, and recommend upgrades to programmable or smart thermostats.

Heat Exchanger Cracks

A cracked heat exchanger is a serious safety concern that can leak carbon monoxide. If we detect this issue, we'll provide honest guidance on whether repair or replacement is the safest option.

Airflow Problems

Blocked or leaking ductwork, dirty filters, and closed vents reduce heating efficiency. We inspect your entire system to ensure proper airflow and even heating throughout your home.

Frequent Cycling

If your furnace turns on and off too frequently, it wastes energy and causes unnecessary wear. Common causes include clogged filters, thermostat issues, or improper system sizing.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Furnace?

One of the most common questions we hear is whether to repair an existing furnace or invest in a new system. Our technicians provide honest, transparent recommendations based on several key factors:

Repair Makes Sense If:

  • ✓Your furnace is less than 15 years old
  • ✓Repair cost is less than 50% of replacement cost
  • ✓You've maintained the system regularly
  • ✓This is the first major repair needed
  • ✓Your energy bills are still reasonable
  • ✓The system heats your home evenly

Replace Makes Sense If:

  • ✓Your furnace is over 15-20 years old
  • ✓You need frequent repairs (multiple per year)
  • ✓Energy bills keep increasing
  • ✓Some rooms are too hot or too cold
  • ✓Heat exchanger is cracked (safety issue)
  • ✓Efficiency rating is below 80% AFUE

If replacement is the better option, we'll help you select the right system size and efficiency level for your home and budget. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can reduce heating costs by 30-50% compared to older systems. Learn more about our heating system installation services.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?

Generally, if your furnace is less than 15 years old and the repair cost is less than 50% of replacement cost, repair is recommended.

Common causes include dirty air filters restricting airflow, thermostat malfunctions, pilot light or ignition problems, faulty flame sensors, broken blower motors, cracked heat exchangers, and gas supply issues. Many of these issues can be prevented with regular heating system maintenance.

Are furnace repairs covered by warranty?

Coverage depends on your furnace's age and existing warranties. Most new furnaces have manufacturer warranties covering parts for 5-10 years. Labor warranties vary by installer. All Dependable HVAC repairs include a 90-day workmanship warranty. We'll check your existing warranties and help you understand your coverage options.

Can I prevent furnace breakdowns?

Yes! Regular furnace maintenance is the best prevention. We recommend annual heating system tune-ups before winter, changing air filters monthly, keeping vents clear, and addressing minor issues promptly. Our maintenance plans help prevent 85% of common furnace breakdowns and extend your system's lifespan.
